Our time here in Ukraine is winding down. Today (Tuesday) we will meet with Sergei and others of the Uzhorod church. Then, this evening we'll meet with the women about women's issues in the church. Then, tomorrow it's off to Budapest. Florian made arrangements for us for someone to take us to Budapest, and someone else to show us around. I think (hope) these people speak English! Then, Thursday we'll be travelling home. It's unlikely that we'll have internet access after today. I am sorry we couldn't post more pictures (I've taken quite a few, of course!), but the internet is extremely slow here. Pictures would put us over the edge!

Thanks again to everyone for your prayers, support and encouragement. To those of you from Church of the Servant, I hope you will fall in love with the people of Uzhorod, Kamyanitsa and Perechyn just as we have. I can't think of a better way to be in ministry than to help them grow their church and spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to the people in their communities. The pastors and congregations are ready, willing, and able. They just need a little bit of support and encouragement. And hope. This is God's Mission for sure!

Please pray for the churches, their ministries, their people, and their pastors. This is the most important thing we can do for them. There's a lot to be done for sure, but prayer is key.

As well, pray for our journey home - for safe travel and short lines.

God Bless,
Susan
